London Asbestos FAQs
Common questions about asbestos management in London properties
Do London period properties contain asbestos?
Many Victorian and Edwardian properties in London have had modifications during the 1950s-1980s when asbestos was commonly used. While the original structure typically doesn't contain asbestos, later additions like textured ceilings, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and partition walls often do. Our London surveyors are experienced in identifying these period-specific asbestos installations.
What are the London local authority requirements for asbestos removal?
All London boroughs follow the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, but some have additional notification requirements. Licensed asbestos removal work must be notified to the HSE and often to the local council's environmental health department. Our London team maintains relationships with all borough councils and ensures full compliance with both national regulations and local requirements.
How quickly can you respond to asbestos emergencies in London?
Our multiple London-based teams can typically respond to emergency situations within 2-4 hours throughout Greater London. We maintain dedicated emergency response units ready to secure sites where asbestos has been unexpectedly disturbed, particularly important in London's busy commercial and residential environments.
Are there special considerations for asbestos in London's listed buildings?
Yes, London has thousands of listed buildings which require special approaches to asbestos management. We work closely with conservation officers and heritage specialists to ensure asbestos is safely managed while preserving historical features. Our London team has specific expertise in non-destructive survey techniques and sympathetic removal methods for heritage properties.
How do you handle asbestos waste disposal in London's congestion zone?
We manage all logistical challenges of London asbestos projects, including ULEZ and congestion zone considerations. Our vehicles are compliant with emissions standards, and we carefully plan waste transportation routes and timing to minimize costs and environmental impact. All asbestos waste is safely transported to licensed disposal facilities in accordance with London's strict waste management regulations.
